You aren't necessarily going to gain extra space to store more bottles. Because you aren't changing the overall volume. Depending how handy you are. One option is to cut two sheets of material to the size of the opening, width and height - so it looks like you have two doors. Then use a hole saw, 75mm, too drill as many holes as you can get in the board leaving enough room between holes to keep structural integrity. Repeat in the second board with the same spacing or secure both boards together, temporarily and drill both sets of holes together. Finally install 4 spacer blocks to create the depth required to support the neck and base of the bottle. Fill holes and paint to your desired colour. The boards should look like a piece of Swiss cheese when finished. Well it won't but you hopefully get the principle. Hope that helps.

This is very rough, but if it's possible with those pesky drains etc. I'd lose some of your living room for a larger bathroom, 2nd WC under the stairs and a utility cupboard. I think your lounge is a little too long. And you will find it difficult to furnish and will end up with wasted space as it's too long for its width. Either you will have 2 seating areas or a dead space either end. So by using the end for your bathroom, you gain a hallway. The kitchen is still the same size in the sketch, but you could maybe take cupboard depth into the bathroom space to push the kitchen up a little. Or a utility or pantry sized space up the end. Or flip the kitchen back to the original plan orientation. I popped a built in dining booth, bit I was just messing about.

Hello, Hoping for some help please I am in design phase, pre planning, so still able to change layout, windows etc I thought it would be best to think about kitchen design now, before we put in plans for planning. Any thoughts on how we should plan our kitchen, need a fridge/1.5 oven/microwave in kitchen Freezer, probably in the utility, unless we can fit it into pantry. Not sure on size of window in kitchen Think id prefer a clear island

Im really struggling with what to do with this area of my house. Context- Utility as marked on plans is just a garage space, single skin, cold but with plumbing for washer/dryer. Ideally would like to add insulation but would be costly and ceiling height slight problem Upstairs on 1st floor is a master bedroom qith walk in wardrobe, 2 further double bedroom. All sharing a modest family bathroom. On the 2nd floor is a loft bedroom with en suite. Not using this as a master. More a guest/teenager room The pantry area has a restrictive bulkhead due to pipe runs that cant be altered. Ceiling height as indicated 2.15m Options A) design as planned. Pantry limited in size at 1.6x1m, lots of different door swings to handle B) Take out the wall between toilet and pantry. Creating a downstairs shower room. Use recessed shower rainfall head due to bulkhead C) Make pantry bigger, have main kitchen entrance open against the side wall. D) Make pantry bigger, but make it a Utility room in a heated space, handy off kitchen. Block up door to garage space then for better kitchen design? Or will I regret that decision? Shift door into garage up closer to the nib? E) Make bulkhead space into coat store off hallway, doesnt seem very useful but gives a clean wall for kitchen units F) something totally different
